Tips & Advice
- Register early, because places are capped and early sign-ups get gifts and a spot in the prize draw.
- Bring your DNI or other official ID to pack pickup at Gran Canaria Arena, plus a signed authorization and ID copy if collecting for someone else.
- Collect your pack in the slot set in your registration, unless you were among the first 2,000 to sign up and can use any session.
- Put on a costume and bring friends, since the 6K Popular is a non-competitive charity run made for celebrating the end of the year together.
- Only enter the 5K International if you can hold an average pace of four minutes per kilometre for men or four and a half for women.
